The 6th Senior
Event of the season saw yet again a
number of surprise results none
more than the early defeat of No.1
seed David Hogan. Hogan had earlier
come out on top of his encounter
with Waterford's Joe Corrigan.
Corrigan played some superb snooker
which included a 113 in the first
frame but could not close out the
match with Hogan eventually coming
back from 2-1 down to win 3-2. He
could not however make it two
comebacks in a row and despite
coming back from 2-0 down against
Mark Maher he lost out 3-2 after an
inspired 40+ clearance from Maher
to win the decider. Hogan's
exit alerted the top seeds and they
all made it through to the quarters
come Sunday morning although
Muldoon had to overcome TJ Dowling
in the Last 32. TJ made a comeback
for this event and ran Muldoon all
the way in a brilliant match before
Muldoon ran out the victor. Sunday
morning saw Maher Maher reach his
second semi final in a row seing
off the winner of the last event,
Colvin O'Brien 4-0. Maher however
despite having nearly gone 3-0 up
on Colm Gilcreest in the semi
eventually lost 4-2 ending his
event. Colm had played superb all
weekend and had beaten Martin
McCrudden 4-0 to reach the semi. The
other half of the draw saw Brendan
see off John Torpey 4-1 while
Muldoon had no problem beating Carl
Murphy by four frame to nil. The
semi was touch and go for a while
until Muldoon eventually got over
the winning line in what was a
nervy match for both players with
so much at stake. The
final was a superb one with both
players in terrific form. Gilcreest opened up with a 45 in the first. Muldoon started the second well with 8 blacks but Gilcreest when looking like clearing up missed the last black no 44 and Muldoon cleared to level.
Gilcreest had a 57 in the next only for Muldoon to knock in a 74 to level proceedings once more. A superb 89 and 68 gave Muldoon a 4-2 lead only for Colm to claw one back with a 78 but could not stop Muldoon closing out the
match in the 8th frame to win 5-3. View Frames 1
